White House Interest in #StrongWorkforce
CAFWD James Mayer's blog in Capitol Weekly chronicles the significance of the action: "The leaders of California's vast community college system this week unanimously adopted a reform agenda with amazing ease - given how fundamentally hard the decision was to engineer." Read the article.
The White House National Economic Council has taken notice. CCCCO Vice Chancellor Van Ton-Quinlivan, Sector Navigator for Information & Communications Technology/Digital Media Steve Wright, WestEd's Kathy Booth, and CA Hospital Association's Cathy Martin have been invited to be among 15 selected leaders from across government, academia, philanthropy, and business to meet with senior Administration officials from the White House and key federal agencies. This mid-December roundtable will inform "Next Steps on Job-Driven Training" - providing feedback to the Administration's job-training policy and priorities for next year.
Next for #strongworkforce implementation? The Chancellor's Office will overview implementation planning at the January Board of Governors meeting.

High Number of Employment Training Panel Contracts Awarded to Community Colleges
November was a banner month for community colleges awarded training contracts via the CA Employment Training Panel (ETP) Multiple Employer Contract (MEC), with $3,008,227 in contracts awarded. That brings the current ETP total to $11,266,580 to 13 California community colleges, which will upskill and/or retrain 13,693 employees within California companies. ETP is the state agency overseeing training dollars funded by California employers through a special training tax.
"We have been impressed with the renewed focus by community colleges on workforce training and want to continue building on the partnership between our two systems," states Stewart Knox, Executive Director of ETP.
Congratulations to these colleges on their awarded contracts.
